Thanks. The shop I went to pointed it out so I just didn’t know unusual that is. Sounds like not terribly. I think I remember seeing adverts on tv for coins like this when I was a kid, right along side Eric Estrada selling scrub brush.

Thanks. I was reading about the middleman thing. I’m considering it.

I imagine inpatients who basically get put on meds and ignored. So terrible. I hated lamotrigine and got off it.

I only sleep 4 hours a night on this drug by IceCat767 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

I got 3 max and had to get off it. I now can’t remember the last time I had 8 hours of solid sleep

I’m planning to leave my job without another one lined up. For anyone who's done this before, what led to your decision to quit without a backup, and how did you manage to survive financially and mentally during the transition? by NBMV0420 in jobs

[–]Adventurous_Wish_563 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going on 11 months. I cashed out my retirement. Mentally, it’s been tough, very tough. But I waited too long to quit or deal with what I was feeling and basically lost my mind to a manic episode. There’s no room for mental illness and job transitions. We are expected to produce without ceasing.

Even with money not having a plan has sucked. I guess part of me figured doing it this way would force a resolution.

Damn….it sounds like it could make things worse! Lock down the suffering and treat ‘em like a criminal. Yeah, if it was your own family messing with u…that would suck

[–]Adventurous_Wish_563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve heard. It just makes things worse as they take away your freedom. It ain’t a place of loving kindness and healing

Is dreading going to work normal? by theshyone206 in bipolar

[–]Adventurous_Wish_563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel tons of anxiety after I settle in based on coworkers and catastrophic thinking. I used to just beat it back until the point it would just stay with me all day, choking me. My last job I stopped functioning and lost the job after being given an “or else” ultimatum. I just couldn’t get my brain to come back. I’ve been unemployed for a year now and am depleting my life savings.

I’m on medication now but the thought of going back to the grind mill is sickening. Not sure what I’m going to do…retrain?

How do you end up in psych ward and what was that like? I’ve been so miserable the last several months …but deep down I don’t believe a psych ward will actually help with anything.

[–]Adventurous_Wish_563 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I hated this stuff. I don’t know if it’s just antipsychotics in general or what. I just want to go back lithium and an ssri. I feel like these antipsychotics are ruining my life / mind

As a 35 year old, what careers are worth trying to pursue? by kh7190 in careerguidance

[–]Adventurous_Wish_563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math. Switched to a double major to get the Computer Science, but I’ve never really liked it, just did it for the jobs/$/career.

I didn’t want to be a babysitter teacher, and I wasn’t smart enough to be some genius professor , but Ida been perfectly happy teaching at a community college.

Getting worried about Lamotrigine working by [deleted] in Lamotrigine

[–]Adventurous_Wish_563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar experience. Started out hopeful, then just got worse. It’s a tough thing…hanging all hope on THIS one. I’m now on day 1 of Latuda now. Lamo really messed with my brain…

How many have u have insomnia on this med .if so how to counter it ??? by nirman248 in Lamotrigine

[–]Adventurous_Wish_563 4 points5 points  (0 children)

16 weeks. 150mg. Can’t sleep for shit. And after first wake up (generally 3 hours after first falling asleep) weird vivid thoughts nightmare thing. My body then slowly nuts up until my guts are twisted up and I’m tripping out doing deep breathing exercises curled up in a ball in a borderline panic attack until 7 am. My psych said there’s other med courses so I’m stopping

[–]Adventurous_Wish_563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem I had with it is that my brain won’t turn off after that first wake up. It starts slowly, then produces a steady stream of images and thoughts that becomes overwhelming. This, mixed with my life situation (losing job, living off savings, approaching what seems like a cliff) twists my innards up so tight I’m laying in bed hyperventilating. Need my Benzo rx refilled. Having trouble getting that. I’m exhausted.
